@LEGO_Group 928 is the only correct answer. You know we all want to be able to buy that one again.

Really enjoying this collection of vintage reviews of fan-made, UK 8-bit adventure games (mostly for the Spectrum) by @ZXadventurer! It's not a well-documented part of game industry history!

[Bob Fischer @Bob_Fischer]

@illuminatus Hell, yes. I'm trying to dig out the games I wrote with it 35 years ago, to see if I can upload them...

[Tim Gilberts @timbucus]

Final attic find for today - I knew I had the Thompson’s twins adventure somewhere found it with a few other ‘discs’

[Strident @Strident]

@KayinAmoh 'Behind Closed Doors' was the one in the toilet. :) https://t.co/4NoLpLtJxJ Not sure about the horse one!

[Lord Arse! @Lord_Arse]

Treated myself to all four (and hopefully more!) copies of @hardistymark's bookazine series, "The Classic Adventurer", a delightful journey through the wonderful land of the 8 and 16-bit text adventure.

[ZX Spectrum Adventurer @ZXadventurer]

1980s ZX Spectrum text adventure writer (& author) Andrew Lowe @andylowe99 was kind enough to chat to me about his Zodiac Software days, reviews from @Mike_Gerrard and being inspired by @fergusmcneill https://t.co/rxxvIEFyiJ

[Charles Cecil @CharlesCecil]

Thrilled to be able to announce that we will be launching Broken Sword 5 on Nintendo Switch on 21st September - it really is quite a special version with nice new features. Also working hard on new project, of course!

Whatever happens for Indigogo backers, that's probably the end of the ZX Vega+ as a commercial venture now, https://t.co/A03nQL1SAE Without the branding, there's zero chance it'll ever make it into stores and reclaim the substantial sums apparently owed to various people.
